Hi Boeing

This reasoning is highly questionable: there's no proof or indication that somebody that perform well in the box, with some implausible scenarios, will have the same perfomance when it's for real and vice-versa. Sometimes it's exactly the opposite: many guys that saved the day weren't aces in the box at all. After all, the box it's a little more than a big videogame.
I read some place that even heros like Sully weren't exactly sim top guns, but average guys like most of us.
What make the difference is the decison making process, which assessment is much more complex than flooding the box with thick smoke, multiple failures and shouting.
But, hey, it's aviation, where there's always somebody trying to reinvent the wheel.
